A jaw that has been welded, grounded,
drilled or modified in any manner can shatter during
pressing, resulting in sharp flying objects, severe injury or
death. Discard and replace damaged jaw sets.
5. Slide the jaw set into the pressing tool (Figure 3).
6. Push the jaw set mounting pin until it clicks.
NOTE! The Compact 100-B will not work unless the pin
is fully engaged.
Tool and Work Area Set-Up
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, proper set-up of the
pressing tool and work area is required. The
following procedures should be followed:
1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.
Battery Charging Procedure:
WARNING
Before using the battery charger, read all the bat-
tery and charger instructions.
1. Locate the charger so the cord and charger will not be
stepped on, tripped over or be subjected to dam-
age. Do not expose charger to wet environment such
as rain or snow.
2. Charge battery cartridge in temperatures above 50°F
(10°C) and below 104°F (40°C). Store tool and battery
cartridge in location where temperatures do not
exceed 120°F (49°C).
3. Plug the battery charger into the proper A/C voltage
source. The charging light will flash in green color
(Figure 4).
To avoid electric shock and electrical fires,
never use an extension cord that is damaged or does not
meet the following requirements:
• The cord has pins on line plug that are similar in size
and shape to those of the plug on the charger.
• The cord is rated as “W” or “W-A” if being used
outdoors.
• The cord has sufficient wire thickness (16 AWG
below 100
′
). If the wire thickness is too small, the
cord may overheat, melting the cord’s insulation or
causing nearby objects to ignite.
Do not attempt to use a step-up trans-
former, an engine generator or DC power receptacle.

NOTE! New batteries are not charged and must be
charged before use.
4. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus
terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same
sides as their respective markings on the battery
charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that
it rests on the charger port floor.
5. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging
light color will change from green to red and charging
will begin. The charging light will remain lit steadily
during charging. When charging is completed, the
charging light color will change from red to green.
NOTE! Charging time will be approximately 1
1
/
4
hours
for 2.6 AH Ni-MH standard equipment battery or
one hour for 2.0 AH NiCd optional battery.
WARNING
Charge only Makita
®
batteries. Other types of bat-
teries may burst causing personal injury.
6. After charging, unplug the charger from the power
source. Always cover the battery terminals with the
battery cover when the battery cartridge is not being
used.
Important Charging Notes
1. When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery
cartridge which has not been used for a long period of
time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem. You can
recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it
completely and recharging a couple of times.
